This is seriously the saddest thing I have read in a long, long time: Chik-Fil-A donates millions of dollars to antigay groups.

I... I don't know what I'm going to do.  I love those little nuggets so much.  I once tried to go vegetarian -- if I had to, I could live without steak, I could live without cheeseburgers, but I could not live without Chik-Fil-A.  I eat it at least once a week.  This is really going to be a problem.

If it turns out 7-11 is donating to white power organizations or something, I'm just going to go ahead step in front of a bus.

The Chick-Fil-A president is completely without shame about it too. Gross.

I can't think less of people who still go there. I heard Target has made similar donations and I would have a hard time swearing off that store completely D:

when it comes to things like that, my plan of action is to go ahead and keep enjoying whatever those people make, because if they're going to make me miserable by supporting crappy things, they're not going to additionally make me miserable by denying me good food.

Hey, let them feel bad about how pro-gay people are eating their food. :|

Because honestly speaking, boycotting them would have a negligible effect on their finances.

So counteract it by donating to this.

Today's the last day, by 7 pm Eastern time.

Two men in love, young, attractive, smart... One's family doesn't accept them (and worse), and when their son is killed tragically, the one left behind faced threats if he showed up at the funeral, was left out of everything from funeral arrangement decisions to the obituary and funeral handout.

He was the most important person in his lover's life, and they tried to erase them. So now, he's making a movie about it, to get awareness out for medical proxies, wills, living wills, and protecting oneself in an age when gay marriage isn't legal everywhere. If they'd been married, it would have been a much different story.

It's tough enough to lose the love of your life. He didn't even get to say goodbye...

Warning: WATCH WITH KLEENEX.

What do you mean a business that puts Bible verses up in their kitchens and closes on Sundays to give their employees time to go to church really is run by evangelicals!?! Next you'll be telling me Hobby Lobby is pro-life!!!

It's disgusting that they donate so much money in the company's name when it is obviously the one person's choice.. There are probably employees that don't agree with this stance and definitely customers who don't and now it's as if they willingly donated it, like it was a group effort. IDK. It's gross on a number of levels..

I'm glad it's finally getting major attention. I've been boycotting them for years, but nobody else seemed to care about their affiliations and partnerships and just general evilness.
